Drivers heading down Glover Road in Milner Tuesday morning might have seen a sizeable vehicle off to one side - a house.

A farmhouse in the 6200 block of Glover was on the move Tuesday, relocated to a new site on the property to make way for expansions of Glover Road linked to the new overpass.

The rail overpass will completely realign traffic in the area, and the provincial government purchased land from several farms to expand roads or put through loops for the overpass.

The Roberts Bank Rail Corridor Project compensated the homeowner for various costs of the building move, according to a project spokesperson.
